Humble, pragmatic and to the point… I thoroughly enjoyed this TED talk.
Having listened to many Youtube vipassana talks… it was refreshing to
listen to someone who has walked the path of vipassana for many years and
whose volition is to share it’s many merits.
how i understood what is the world is from Vipassana, all should do a
course and see!
That documentary on Vipassana in Tihar jail motivated me to take up this 10
day course, it was unbelievably painful and unbelievably blissful at the
same time!
I wish I continue practicing vipassana at home..
Vipassana is an amazing stuff… One will definitely see a change in
him…Just Do it… Be happy :)

Succinctly put… love the way Eilona Ariel explains it in the video as
well… very secular and non-religious. It’s the best way to go I
believe… it’s what Goenkaji went for as well and for a good reason…
appealing for the scientifically inclined and skeptical mindset as myself
and the many religions as well, since it can be practiced by all without
interfering with belief. Eventually – if one keeps continuity with the
practice in the right way – all will get to a common denominator, to the
way things really are… since truth/reality is only one, people will reach
the same conclusion by simple but profound observation. BHAVATU SABBA
MANGALAM.
Is there any place in georgia USA to learn vipasna?
Vipassana Meditation and Body Sensation: Eilona Ariel at TED #tedtalks
Vipassana Meditation is all about practice and less about theory …. All
human beings should atleast attend a ten-day vipassana introduction course
to understand its real meaning …theory is important to understand the
technique but only practise will give tangible results …..vipassana is
taught free of cost in all the centres over the world …. the only cost
invovled is your own hardwork and sincerity of your efforts to Know
Yourself by observation of truth pertaining to yourself…… Much Metta
The teaching of the Dharma, (the education for the Art of Living) so that
one can recognize the power and value of continuous focused attention
(meditation) and be motivated to learn and practice is a the key intention
for the IMPACT initiative. If one reads the source document it is evident
that the actual experience of awareness of self and the “world”, “reality”,
and the focus of attention to the reactive experience (thought field, body
sensations) with the practice of equanimity is transformational.

Today we have more language and science to provide a foundation for what
“The Enlightened One” discovered, and so the teaching can have an “Impact”
that can move people to make the determined effort necessary to take on
seeing “reality”, “as it is” (definition of Vipassana). I spent 32 years
working in prisons as a psychologist and in the last years, a warden, and I
found in my work that the people in prison can change and lead their life
in harmony with others. After leaving the prison career it occurred to me
that we are all in prison. The mind set that has us torture and punish our
brothers and sisters instead of giving them a real opportunity to change is
evidence of our ignorance, which is a expression of the state of
confinement, “state of mind” in which we exist. We don’t notice that we
punish ourselves in the same way everyday as we try to hide our fear of not
being lovable. Now I am committed to having an “impact” on people where
ever possible that shakes them awake to the condition we exist within that
amounts to constant misery and suffering, a condition that can dissolve
into the freedom to be an alive, compassionate, loving, natural human being
if the “right action” is seen and taken. I invite your comments and invite
you to join me in developing this newly forming initiative. See new
Facebook page: The Impact Initiative.
What a load of shite !
The Buddha found two types of meditation: a stepped meditation where you
find higher levels of power and what’s known as Vipassana. The stepped
meditation allows people to move objects and turn off lights and do many
things, but the Buddha felt that was temporary and didn’t lead to
enlightenment. Vipassan, however, is believed the true meditation and the
true path to enlightenment because it allows you to realize the impermanent
nature of all things, including yourself, and through it, you find joy.
It’s the cornerstone of the Buddha’s Middle Way.
great!
I am from Nepal. One of my friends, who is also a computer engineering
student, has also taken this course twice. Both times when he returned to
the Kathmandu valley from meditation and met me, he told me how powerful it
was. He told me how greatly it affected him. At the same time, I had taken
a ‘Reiki’ course somewhere in the valley, and it had also affected me
positively. One thing we found in common was we both were able to remember
our dreams clearly the next morning we woke up. However, as we both stopped
practicing at home, the power of remembering the whole dream weakened over
time. I realize this is not good.
This video has made me feel I should take Vipassana course as soon as
possible.
S N Goenka my G speaks to u.
These things are not as clear as they are painted. Probably not lead to
nowhere
great talk. thank you for your work.
1. Vipassana meditation obliges one to stay seated, without speaking,
watching tv, listening radio mp3 etc, writing, training. So it can be very
harmful and out of contest. In fact if you can obtain the same result with
a short meditation (5-20 min), why this absurd idea of 10-12 hours of
seated meditation?
2. Even if you clear your mind for 10 days, after this, you must have
connections, comunications with all sort of people. The point is not to be
alert (how can you do this for hours, during office works or others jobs?)
but to have comunicative skills or a good personality that comes if you
have a concrete approch to life with a good job, with a good economical
situation, with good relationships.
You must receive approval from others and from inside of you. It’s not a
question of attention and awereness. Awereness can deepen Your personality
if you have already these things…Normally this people that sponsorise
this kind of mental approch have a busy and rich life. They have not a
poor, or a passive life.
To have success in meditation is the last step in evolution. In Yoga,
meditation or dhyana comes after yama, niyama, asana pranayama pratyahara
dharana then Dhyana and Samadhi. There is a reason…You cannot survive if
you put your right finger on the Main, it’s possible a folgoration! Step by
step you can absorbs this great Energy during meditation, but not suddenly
with a 10 days retreat, BEWARE! Listen to very experienced people! (excuse
me for my English, but it’s not my language).
is this the meditation the prisoners in oprah’s show were doing? those
prisoners in Alabama?
Vipassana Meditation and Body Sensation: Eilona Ariel at TED #tedtalks
SN Goenka’s methods ask us to do retreat for 10 days and 10 hours every
day, but other places suggest a simple 20-minute a day is sufficient. I am
confused as to which to follow as I would need to take a 10 day break from
work to be able to do the retreat..if there are any experts on this, pls
reply…
